MacFinn
Le va et vient - June
14th, 2004
From the hills of Donegal to the streets
of Montreal, from the Shetlands of Scotland to the shores
of Cape Breton, from Acadian provincial highways to the
Appalachian trails, Celtic music and survived, thrived,
and evolved.
The legendary giant of Irish mythology, Fionn MacCumhaill
(Finn MacCool), this band's namesake, crossed the “Giant’s
Causeway” from Antrim, Ireland to Staffa, Scotland.
Like Fionn the giant, MacFinn the band builds musical
bridges seeking to harmonize traditional values with
modern day influences. Gentle airs, marches and strathspeys
give way to rocking reels with slapping base lines and
steady rhythm. Add a sprinkle of song, step dance, and
Guinness (mostly Guinness), and the menu for a MacFinn
show is complete. Fun. Intense. Enjoy.
